SNAS843D December 2024 – January 2026 CDC6C
PRODUCTION DATA
For EMI reduction, the CDC6Cx has orderable options to reduce slew rate and increase rise and fall times. Slowing down the sharp rising and falling edges of a clock output, or lowering the output slew rate, decreases high-frequency harmonics, thereby lessening EMI. For applications requiring lesser EMI, select the appropriate rise and fall time options and see the CDC6Cx CISPR25 Radiated Emission Performance Report for more EMI reduction strategies.
The CDC6Cx has four slow mode options other than the normal mode. Based on the desired rise and fall times, select the right slow mode option and load capacitance value. Table 8-2 shows the minimum recommended capacitance for each slow mode.
| SLOW MODE | MINIMUM RECOMMENDED CAPACITANCE (pF) |
|---|---|
| Slow Mode 1 | 2 |
| Slow Mode 2 | 5 |
| Slow Mode 3 | 10 |
| Slow Mode 4 | 15 |
Table 8-3 has recommended slow mode options for various load capacitance for a 25MHz output clock. For example, with load capacitance 15pF, Slow Mode 4 option results in the slowest rise and fall times. You can also select Slow Mode 1, Slow Mode 2, or Slow Mode 3 with 15pF but the rise and fall times are faster.
| SLOW MODE OPTION | LOAD CAPACITANCE | RISE AND FALL TIME (ns) WITH SLOW MODE (TYP / MAX) | RISE AND FALL TIME (ns) WITH NORMAL MODE (TYP / MAX) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slow Mode 1 | 2pF | 0.81 / 1.06 | 0.62 / 1.01 |
| Slow Mode 2 | 5pF | 1.47 / 1.62 | 0.76 / 1.24 |
| Slow Mode 3 | 10pF | 2.44 / 2.61 | 1.4 / 1.7 |
| Slow Mode 4 | 15pF | 3.29 / 3.5 | 1.88 / 2.11 |
